View (Configuration)

Select the View tab in the Configuration Dialog Box to control these options:

Columns

• Select the columns that you want to appear in the file listing. Click the Defaults button to return the column selection and sizes to their original default values.
• Tip: you can also choose columns right in the WinZip® window: just right click any column header and choose the columns you want from the shortcut menu. You can use your mouse to resize and hide columns by dragging the column dividers in the header area. You can also use your mouse to rearrange columns by dragging the column header from one location in the header area to another location.

General

• Allow all upper case file names - WinZip normally shows filenames the same way as Windows: if the filename contains any lower case characters the filename is shown in mixed case. Otherwise the first letter of the filename is shown in upper case and the remainder in lower case. If this option is checked, filenames that contain no lower case characters will appear in all upper case (rather than initial upper case).
• Full row select - WinZip's default action is to use Windows Explorer style of file selection, requiring that the file name itself be clicked. This option allows you to click anywhere on the file's row of information in order to select it.
• Grid lines - Display grid lines to separate rows and columns in the main WinZip window. Due to a problem in Windows XP, this option is not available for XP users.
• Watermark - Display a WinZip watermark in the lower right corner of the main window. This option is available only for Windows XP users.

Mouse selection

• Normally the main WinZip window will automatically use the same mouse selection settings as your Windows desktop. Should you need to change these settings for the main WinZip window, you can use these fields to do so.

Note: these options are available only if you have version 4.71 or later of the Windows Common Control library. This library is part of Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or greater, or is available as a separate download from the Microsoft web site as described in the section Windows Common Control Library.
